ALL CHANGE! the Romanian Film Festival in London, 6Th Edition 1 - 4 May 2009 Curzon Mayfair, 38 Curzon Street, London W1J 7TY ALL CHANGE! The Romanian Film Festival in London, 6th Edition 1 - 4 May 2009 Curzon Mayfair, 38 Curzon Street, London W1J 7TY The sixth edition of the Romanian Film Festival in London will open very soon, bringing to London the ‘creme de la creme’ of Romanian cinema. This year's title - ‘ALL CHANGE!’ - is a reflection on the rapidly expanding talent that has emerged from the recently hailed Romanian New Wave, with debut features alongside new work by established directors. The theme of change is equally visible in the films’ stories, many of them served with a good dose of humour. Special guests from Romania will be attending selected screenings: actor and director Horatiu Malaele, screen legend Victor Rebengiuc, veteran director Stere Gulea, charismatic star Andi Vasluianu, and documentary film director Andrei Dascalescu. All our guests will take part in a special working lunch at the Ratiu Foundation, 18 Fitzhardinge St, London W1, on Saturday 2 May 2009, at 12pm. Book at [email protected] “We are very happy to present a new edition of our Film Festival”, said Mr Nicolae Ratiu, Chairman of the Ratiu Foundation. “From our first event back in 2003, we brought to London the very best films, and we are proud to have presented the works of directors such as Lucian Pintilie, Cristi Puiu, Cristian Mungiu, Corneliu Porumboiu, and the late Cristian Nemescu – to name but a few of the best known names. Through its high level of achievement, Romanian cinema is probably our best export, raising the level of awareness on the subject of our country, its people and its culture. We are glad that, through our work, we can bring this cinematographic – or indeed, cultural – phenomenon to the attention of the London audience. We have done this for the past six years, and we plan to continue to do so in the foreseeable future. As with every edition, we have a host of special guests in the Festival this time around, giving you the opportunity to meet and talk at first hand with some of the greatest names in Romanian film. See you all at the Festival!”. For more information, visit our website at www.romanianculturalcentre.org.uk PROGRAMME FRIDAY 1 MAY 2009 6.20pm / Opening Film SILENT WEDDING Dir.

  • Veronica Porumbacu's
    Veronica Porumbacu’s ‘Return from Cynthera’ (1966): | 1 Veronica Porumbacu’s ‘Return from Cynthera’ (1966): A Conceptual Manifesto of Socialist Feminism Ovidiu Ţichindeleanu IDEA arts + society CONTACT: Ovidiu Ţichindeleanu, IDEA arts + society, Chişinău, Moldova, and Cluj, Romania, [email protected] To cite this article: [Ovidiu Ţichindeleanu. “Veronica Porumbacu’s ‘Return from Cynthera’ (1966): A Conceptual Manifesto of Socialist Feminism.” Wagadu: A Journal of Transna- tional Women’s and Gender Studies. Fall 2020] ABSTRACT: Veronica Porumbacu (1921-1977) was a Romanian poet and translator who has been unjustly forgotten today due to her proletcultist poems of the 1950s. Yet her work was widely published and well-known during the socialist re- gime, and is especially relevant for the two decades of growth and ideological innovation of the 1960s and 1970s. In my article I analyze a remarkable vol- ume of hers published in 1966, situating it in the context of her work and in the wider frame of the political context of Romania. I argue that Return from Cythera can be considered a conceptual manifesto of socialist feminism, rely- ing on reflexive eroticism, embodied thought, and historical consciousness to challenge the surrounding patriarchal order and to claim the necessity of developing a different cultural genealogy, centered on the standpoint and ex- periences of women. © Wagadu (2020) ISSN : 1545-6196 2 | Ovidiu Ţichindeleanu Postcommunist România has tried hard to abandon its own recent past, although as visual artist Ciprian Mureşan has reminded us, strictly speaking “Communism never happened.”1 In the past three decades of “post-socialist” or “post-communist” West-oriented transition, a specific type of forgetting has been perfected in aca- demia, the public sphere, as well as the larger culture industry.

  • \JIC10R Reeengtlic - P�� � �
    \JIC10R REEENGtliC- P�� � � Oricât de puţin credibil ar putea părea acest lucru, mai cu seamă pentru obiş­ nuiţii sălilor de spectacol, la 10 februarie 2008, marele actor Victor Rebengiuc a împlinit 75 de ani. Drept pentru care două tinere comentatoare ale fenomenului teatral - le-am numit pe Simona Chiţan şi pe Mihaela Michailov - s-au gândit să-i ofere în dar Maestrului, omului căruia nu cred că există român care să nu-i cunoască numele, ori să nu-l fi văzut vreodată pe vreo scenă de teatru, în film,la televizor ori să nu-i fi auzit inconfundabilul glas la radio (de altfel, de ceva vreme Victor Rebengiuc e .. vocea" de identificare a canalului Radio România Cultural) o carte despre el însuşi. Ea se intitulează Vi ctor Rebengiuc - omul şi actorul şi a apărut în colecţia Convorbiri - Corespondenţe - Portrete a Editurii bucureştene Humanitas. Titlul volumului e simplu, aş zice, firesc şi, mai cu seamă, cinstit, aşa cum este şi protagonistul său, iar conţinutul cărţii nu dezminte cu niciun rând substanţa respectivului titlu. Calitate ce se cuvine evidenţiată ca atare. Coloana vertebrală a cărţii e reprezentată de un lung, consistent şi - ce e foarte important - deloc convenţional ori obositor interviupe care Victor Rebengiuc îl acordă celor două semnatare principale ale cărţii (spun semnatare principale, fiindcă, aşa cum se va vedea mai încolo, e de fapt vorba despre un volum mai degrabă colectiv). Interviuîn care Victor Rebengiuc îşi povesteşte viaţa cu o sim­ plitate şi o decenţă exemplare. E confesiunea unui om căruia nu i-au plăcut nicio­ dată nici minciuna, şi nici răsfăţul.

  • Scrisoare Deschisă Preşedintelui României, Traian BĂSESCU*
    *Scrisoare deschisă Preşedintelui României, Traian BĂSESCU* 10 decembrie 2008 Domnule Preşedinte, În urmă cu exact patru ani România beneficia de cel mai important moment pentru memoria şi conştiinţa sa colectivă de la evenimentele din 1989 încoace. Atunci, o alianţă în care puţini crezuseră că poate câştiga alegerile parlamentare, reuşea să redea românilor sentimentul libertăţii şi al demnităţii. Timp de patru ani, 2000 - 2004, în care cuvintele cele mai rostite fuseseră „corupţie" „frică", „şantaj", „izolare", românii s-au simţit înşelaţi şi persecutaţi. Intelectualii incomozi erau ridicaţi de pe stradă, justiţia era înfăptuită în sufrageriile baronilor roşii, membrii cabinetului făceau deliciul presei internaţionale prin delapidările de fonduri europene iar programul de la televizor era făcut îndeaproape după agenda lui Adrian Năstase. Domnule Preşedinte, Onoarea unei naţiuni stă şi în liderii pe care îi are. Atât în dezbatreile publice cât şi în discuţii particulare, mulţi dintre noi, cei care semnează acest apel, v-au arătat sprijinul. Condamnarea comunismului din decembrie 2006 a fost o confirmare reală a faptului că aşteptările noastre n-au fost înşelate. Milioanele de victime ale totalitarismului şi ale unei ideologii barbare au fost răzbunate într-unul din cele mai solide documente din istoria Europei cu privire la trecutul recent. Prima ţară de pe glob care a condamnat comunismul nu are voie să se mai abată de la principiile libertăţii, stabilităţii şi prosperităţii! Domnule Preşedinte, *Vă solicităm în mod expres să nu giraţi

DISTORTION, NEGATIONISM, AND MINIMALIZATION OF THE HOLOCAUST IN POSTWAR ROMANIA Introduction This chapter reviews and analyzes the different forms of Holocaust distortion, denial, and minimalization in post-World War II Romania. It must be emphasized from the start that the analysis is based on the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum’s definition of the Holocaust, which Commission members accepted as authoritative soon after the Commission was established. This definition1 does not leave room for doubt about the state-organized participation of Romania in the genocide against the Jews, since during the Second World War, Romania was among those allies and a collaborators of Nazi Germany that had a systematic plan for the persecution and annihilation of the Jewish population living on territories under their unmitigated control. In Romania’s specific case, an additional “target-population” subjected to or destined for genocide was the Romany minority. This chapter will employ an adequate conceptualization, using both updated recent studies on the Holocaust in general and new interpretations concerning this genocide in particular. Insofar as the employed conceptualization is concerned, two terminological clarifications are in order. First, “distortion” refers to attempts to use historical research on the dimensions and significance of the Holocaust either to diminish its significance or to serve political and propagandistic purposes. Although its use is not strictly confined to the Communist era, the term “distortion” is generally employed in reference to that period, during which historical research was completely subjected to controls by the Communist Party’s political censorship.

Înfige ţi-l în vârf de reflector Căci vrea s ă sparg ă sufletului ghea ţa De veacuri vine-ntr-un ciudat décor Să inventeze Moartea sau Via ţa. Cum st ă în lumin ă parc ă e nucleul Tăcerii ca esen ţă sau mijloc Azi împ ărat iar mâine derbedeul Intersectându-se-n ciudatul lumii joc. E noapte? Sau un om care suspin ă? Întins e firul razei şi cedat Tăia ţi cortina chiar la r ădăcin ă Să cad ă peste fluturul ciudat. 3 Ştefan Ciobot ăra şu – Ciungul – tot, despre oameni şi timpuri 4 ARGUMENT “Talent înseamn ă înainte de toate, sinceritate. S ă ai acea facultate înn ăscut ă de a putea fi sincer, atât de sincer încât s ă te prind ă tot ceea ce faci – fiindc ă nu to ţi avem acest har, s ărmanii de noi. Apoi, ca parte intrinsec ă din sinceritate, trebuie s ă vin ă neaparat şi modestia şi numai dup ă aceea me şte şugul şi bineîn ţeles… controversele despre talent.” Ştefan Ciobot ăra şu Se na şte firesc şi revine obsesiv întrebarea “De ce ?” sau în cazul de fa ţă “De ce Ştefan Ciobot ăra şu?”.
